	int startIndex, 
	int length
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]

        length : int -> 'T[]

JavaScript does not support generic types or methods.

T[]
A array of data copied from the specified portion of the source array.

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type T[]. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for the source array -or- length is less than 0.

Remarks

Returned array will be extended as needed to make it the specified length, but it will never be less than the source array length - startIndex.

If an existing array of primitives is already available, using the BlockCopy(Array, Int32, Array, Int32, Int32) directly instead of this extension method may be optimal since this method always allocates a new return array. Unlike BlockCopy(Array, Int32, Array, Int32, Int32), however, this function also works with non-primitive types.
